The NCAA always likes to remind everyone that student comes before athlete in the “student-athlete” phrase. The organization helps to reinforce this by using Academic Progress Reports (APR) to hold programs accountable. The APR measures teams on their ability to retain and keep student-athletes eligible<\/a> for each academic term. APR bans can be handed out if programs fail to meet these standards.<\/p>\n

APR Bans Handed Out by the NCAA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Teams can be banned from the postseason for failing to get an APR score of at least 930. The score is measured on a four-year basis. Programs that fail to reach that score face penalties handed down from the NCAA. However, these penalties are meant to increase academic progress.<\/p>\n

\n

The number of teams facing postseason bans because of low scores on the NCAA\u2019s Academic Progress Rate has nearly doubled in one year.<\/p>\n
